How to Play the Game

This is a tower defence game with a twist: creeps mutate! The game uses a
genetic algorithm to select the best creeps and breed them together. A little
bit of mutation is thrown in for a bit of spice, just like in evolution.

For both creeps and turrets, colours signify the specialties:

Red: health

Blue: armour

Green: speed

A good first strategy is to place one of each turret at the start of the map.

To place a turret, click its icon from the right side of the screen. Hover your
cursor over a bright red square and click.
